(NAPSI)-Whether it's to preserve the showroom luster or to bring back that new car shine-one of the kindest things you can do for your car is waxing it on a frequent basis
Waxing does more than just shine a car. It provides a layer of protection against damage-such as sunlight, acid rain, tar, oil and bird droppings-that cars are susceptible to.
Waxing is an easy and inexpensive investment in extending your car's condition and good looks.
Here are some simple tips for waxing your car from the experts at Toyota:
Wax should be applied once a month or if water no longer beads on the vehicle's surface.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before you begin waxing, even if you are using a combined cleaner and wax.
Be sure the vehicle's surface temperature is not hot; shade is best for waxing.
Use a pure carnuba wax with no abrasives.
If the finish has become dull in appearance, use a car-cleaning polish, followed by a separate wax.
Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint.
Carefully follow the wax manufacturer's instructions and precautions.
Refer to your car's owner's manual for additional details about maintaining your car's appearance.
Toyota's experts say that waxing your car on a regular basis not only makes it shine, but will help boost its appeal come trade-in time.
